This is Bob Larson with the Market Line Report for Tuesday, Aug 21st. Market volatility was certainly a factor in Monday wheat trading. From the floor of the CME in Chicago, here's Virginia McGathey.

McGATHEY ... "Now wheat also fell today. The Russian shipment restrictions are still unclear and because of that, we took back everything that we gained on Friday. So, it's really adding some pressure. Today's drop really kind of lets us know about how volatile these markets are and certainly wheat was the one that was leading the way so we're going to watch that closely. Tomorrow could be a turnaround Tuesday all the way across the board in spite of the fact that the U.S. dollar index was lower today. We thought that it might give these markets a little bit of a lift. It really didn't come today, but possibly tomorrow."
